which networks have the best reception?

I find Vodafone and O2 much better than Orange and 3.

Hi, it really does depend on where you live/work etc.

Personally , in my area, I have in the past used voda/tmob/orange/o2 and always thought that they all gave pretty good signals.

I have always steered clear of 3 because of reports of poor reception, however in February I took a contract on 3 because it was too good to pass by. To my surprise I have since found that in my area 3 are proving the best reception I have ever had.
The signal strength has never fallen below full even in previously flaky areas.

True but my job involves travelling around a bit and in some areas Orange and 3 give you god awful reception.

Exactly and in other areas Voda and O2 might be bad so as i said it depends on where you want to use your mobile.

Vodafone signals havnt got any better since the invention of the telegram
O2 are far superior and customer service is also better

As i travel around a lot I can tell you Vodafone and O2 are nowhere near as bad as Orange and 3 can be.

As you well know some networks have weaker mobile coverage then others in different places but can be stronger in other places, and each of the main networks provides a guide on their site to show where their coverage is best. So i cant see the point of your question.

I also travel around a fair bit (home, girlfriends, uni, visiting friends at different unis, away football games), and my experience as been the complete opposite. I don't think you can make generalisations like that tbh. It really does depend on where you are.
